Download Free Activation Code (License Key) for Avast Antivirus 2017

You probably already know that Avast Free Antivirus 2017 is totally free and you don’t have to pay a cent to be protected. At least if you’re using it in your household for non-commercial activities.

However, there is one thing you have to do within the first 30 days and each year after. Even though you will get the license only for 1 year, you can get a new one when it expires. So you can basically keep using Avast for free forever.

It’s called registration for a license key (activation code), and it’s very simple. It also works in any older version like Avast 2016, 2015, 2014, 8, 7, 6, 5 or v4.8. In the past Avast was also using license files which were generated for specific e-mail address. License files are luckily not used anymore and the only thing you need is a simple 28-character long unique code.

WARNING We strongly do not recommend using any keygen or crack you may find on the Internet. Most of them are full of malware.

If you like videos, there is a fantastic commented video manual on this page, which explains the whole registration process in a few seconds. And don’t worry if you are not able to retrieve your own license key, we have got one for you at the end of this tutorial.

Register and Get Your Free License Key (Activation Code) via the Program Interface

Step 1 (out of 5) – Open Avast and Start the Registration

Start by opening your Avast user interface. You can do this in many ways:

Find Avast icon on your desktop

Find Avast program in your Start menu

Find Avast icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner). It is usually hidden, so you need to click on the top arrow

When Avast user interface is opened you can register by clicking on the ‘ACTIVATE‘ button at the bottom left corner of the main window, ‘Activate‘ link in the status area, or by going to settings (bottom left corner) » ‘Subscription‘.
